Respond, Recover, Thrive: Planning for Mobility Leaders through COVID-19
During this uncertain time, we understand mobility leaders are being asked not only to react to ever-changing global events but also to plan for the future. As companies start planning for recovery, mobility leaders play a key role in influencing corporate efforts including global workforce planning, operational model adjustments, continuity planning and supporting mobile employees through these uncertain times. How can you make an impact?

Immigration Issues and Strategies
The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically reshaped how global mobility is managed. As governments face pressing public health, economic and other concerns, they have increasingly turned to mobility management tools – such as border closures and travel restrictions – to combat the virus. For businesses, the challenge is how to operate in this new environment, where rapid changes are occurring in the workplace. Organizations needed to demobilize quickly and in a manner that met both business needs, as well as were immigration compliant. Now, organizations are beginning to remobilize and thoughts are turning towards how best to resume business as usual with an eye towards both short and long-term considerations.
Please join us for this timely panel discussion in which we will address:
- Developing a remobilization strategy and plan
- Maintaining a compliant immigration program
- Aligning workforce planning with emerging needs
- Building resiliency into the workplace
- Empowering global mobility professionals
